Set up a ratio 3 3/4 = 15/4 and 1 1/2 = 3/2 so         
((15/4miles)  / (3/2hours)) = xmiles/4hours  solve for x
so x = 4hours*((15/4miles)/(3/2hours)) = x miles
the hours cancel and you are left with x miles = 10miles

Answer: 10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use our knowledge in proportion to solve this question.

BUT first, we need to convert all our mixed numbers to improper fractions

3 3/4 = 15/3

1 1/2 = 3/2

We can now proceed to answer the question.

Let x = number of miles jane can work in 4 hours

Using proportions;

3 3/4 miles = 1 1/2 hours

x = 4 hours

To be able to make our x subject of formular, we need to cross multiply and then divide multiply bothside, but before the lets first replace our mixed numbers by the improper fractions

15/ 4 miles = 3/2 hours

x = 4 hours

we can now cross multiply

Then we have;

3/2 × x = 15/4 × 4

3x / 2 = 15 × 4/4

3x / 2 = 15

we wil now have to multiply 2/3 to bothside ofvtge equation to be able to make x stand alone.

Hence;

2/3 × 3/2 X = 15 × 2/3

x = 30/3

x = 10

Therefore Janelle can walk 10miles in 4 hours.

Which property is used in the problem below?<br><br> 2(x+4)=2x+8
frutty [35]

Answer:

You would use the distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+4) = 2x+8

2x+8x = 2x+8

10x = 2x+8

10x - 2x = 2x-2x+8

8x = 8

8x/8 = 8/8

x = 1

Use the given values of n and p to find the minimum usual value μ−2σ and the maximum usual value μ+2σ. Round to the nearest hund
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

μ−2σ = 1,089.26

μ+2σ = 1,097.62

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation of a sample of size 'n' and proportion 'p' is:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }

If n=1139 and p =0.96, the standard deviation is:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n}}\\\sigma = 0.001836

The minimum and maximum usual values are:

\mu-2\sigma = (p-2\sigma)*n\\\mu+2\sigma = (p+2\sigma)*n

\mu-2\sigma = (0.96-2*0.001836)*1139\\\mu-2\sigma = 1,089.26\\\mu+2\sigma = (0.96+2*0.001836)*1139\\\mu+2\sigma = 1,097.62

2. what is the solution to to equation -2(x + 4)= -20?​
aleksley [76]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(x + 4)= -20

<u>Divide both sides by -2:</u>

<u />x+4=\cfrac{-20}{-2}<u />

<u>Divide -20 by -2 = 10</u>

<u />x+4=10<u />

<u>Subtract 4 from both sides:</u>

<u />x=10-4<u />

<u />x=6<u />
